Migration, proliferation, and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells are essential for the assembly of myelin in the central nervous system. Knowledge on the regulation of these precursor cells is therefore of great importance for the understanding of developmental myelination and remyelination in demyelinating diseases. Here, we show that primary rat oligodendrocyte precursor cells express the chemokine receptor CXCR4. Stimulation with the ligand CXCL12 (SDF-I alpha) leads to intracellular Ca2+ elevation. Furthermore, 10 ng/ml CXCL12 augmented differentiation of precursors into mature oligodendrocytes. Migration toward growth factor conditioned medium was inhibited by CXCL12, while proliferation was only slightly modulated. The effect of CXCL12 on both migration and differentiation was blocked using a G protein antagonist. These data suggest a role for CXCL12 and oligodendroglial CXCR4 receptors during developmental myelination and repair in demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system.
